Its that time of year again where all the morning progams show 'new' ways to decorate the table for the holiday dinner, everyone is rushing to have their hair and nails done and couples are arguing over whose family to go to...Rosh Hashana!! We dont have that problem...every year is spent at Rami's Aunt Ruth - a very homey affair with all of Rami's family. We go according to the book (and my mother-in-law) and talk about all of the different foods we eat and what they represent (for the children).One of these symbolic foods is 'rimon' - pomegranate - it is said to have 613 seeds which corresponds with the 613 mitzvot of the Torah.
I love the seeds in the pomegranate - like little ruby jewels...encased inside the tough skin of the fruit...like precious stones.
some pomegranate inspired drawingsTo anyone who celebrates (and also to those who dont) - i wish a very happy new year, health and peace take care, julie xxx

I just love that first photograph, the contrast between the fruit and that blue background. And the seeds drawings...so precious like jewels.
